Ht. 5'3, Wt. 143 - Do you all think that horseback riding burns calories? I do, but a lot of people disagree with me. I think that if you are just starting out and all you are doing is walking around the ring then you may not be burning very many calories. However if you are trotting(sitting or posting, especially without stirrups!), cantering, jumping, riding bareback, etc, don't you think that would burn calories? Lol at the weight I'm at right now(the highest i've ever been =[), you may think that riding doesn't burn very many calories, but back when i rode every single day i was down to 110lbs....its amazing how the weight just creeps back on!

I know its definately toning your inner thighs and all that good stuff. I guess that would burn calories.
